Vision Solutions(R) Provides Unprecedented Systems Protection to Global Shipping Company During Hurricane Dean

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - December 11, 2007) - Vision Solutions, the leading high availability (HA) and disaster recovery solutions provider in the IBM® System i™ and System p™ markets, today announced TCY (Terminales de Contenedores de Yucatan) weathered the massive Hurricane Dean with superior systems availability protection provided by iTERA HA.

"One week after implementing iTERA HA, the hurricane hit and we were forced to evacuate our terminal," says engineer José Antonio Islas Dolores, head of TCY's Systems Department. "Although the storm caused massive damage throughout the area, we came back to work with our systems fully operational and with no loss of data. Because of this, we now have one hundred percent confidence in Vision Solutions."

TCY is located in Progreso Yucatan, Mexico. From this strategic location, ships can quickly reach the most important markets in the United States, the Caribbean and Central America (with connections to South America and Europe). TCY serves four leading shipping companies, including the world's largest. For each shipping line, the Company keeps precise track of every container; its exact location in the port; its shipping movement records; and the days it is held at the terminal. All information is managed by TCY and they provide customers with 24/7 continuous online information availability, 365 days a year, in spite of being in a hurricane zone.

With Vision Solutions' iTERA HA, TCY's systems continuity includes:

--  Assured 24/7 terminal operations and guaranteed accurate records
--  Continuous protection and immediate availability of its customers'
    critical information
--  Systems online and continuously updated, even under extreme
    conditions, such as a hurricane
--  Immediate productivity after emergency evacuation
--  Ability to maintain and continually upgrade compliance with ISO
    9001:2000 Quality Management requirements by minimizing freight damage and
    loss, accidents, and work stoppages due to information system failures
--  Improved information security and systems productivity through
    elimination of downtime during back-up, hardware upgrade and maintenance
    processes
    

"Before iTERA HA, our system failed catastrophically and often took a week to get the server back online, during which time we had to perform all record keeping operations manually," says José. "Because of this situation, we acquired an additional System i Model 800 server to have as a backup system and incorporated iTERA HA software into our overall IT strategy."

iTERA HA is designed to integrate tightly with IBM System i operating systems. The Vision Solutions' product is easy to manage and takes users directly to a desired screen with the push of a button, rather than navigating through a whole series of screens. "The menus clearly present the whole picture," added José. "Monitoring the system and data is quite easy."

"By implementing our software, this worldwide company now enjoys outstanding business resiliency and protection in addition to significant reductions in system downtime," says Vision Solutions' Senior Sales Manager for Latin America Andres Bacalao. "This is the kind of IT strategy every business, no matter their size, should consider for protecting their revenue and increasing customer satisfaction within today's competitive marketplace."
